How to Style Ankara for Any Occasion
Zuri Threads · 4 October 2026
From weddings to the office — five easy ways to wear authentic Ankara prints and look effortlessly elegant.
Why Ankara never goes out of style
Ankara fabric is bold, colourful and unmistakably African. The secret to styling it is balance — let the print be the star and keep everything else simple.
1. The statement maxi
A floor-length Ankara dress needs no heavy accessories. Pair with simple sandals and a kiondo basket bag.
2. Mix prints carefully
Combine a busy Ankara top with a solid kitenge or denim bottom. One print at a time is the rule.
3. Office-ready kitenge
A tailored kitenge shirt with plain trousers works perfectly for work. Finish with leather sandals.
